OTM--I'm sure you know there's a season on Sandhill Cranes in some states, Tennessee being one. I've never hunted them but have some buddies who have. They're supposed great on the table. The knickname is "ribeye of the sky".
Having said all that I don't have a lot of interest in shooting them. From what the guys have told me there's not a lot to it if you're in a good spot.
Wouldn't turn it down on the table, though. I've eaten ostrich which was a lot like very, very good (read expensive grass fed) beef.
